"Mr. Varoufakis tends to speak in thoughtful and theatrical tones that can prompt strong reactions." --New York Times

"European finance ministers have got an opponent who will not recede easily. And one who, furthermore, appears to have the stamina of a long distance runner to go the whole way." --The Guardian

A #1 Sunday Times bestseller [UK]

"One of the greatest political memoirs of all time."-- The Guardian

"An important, terrifying must-read. In particular, it anatomises the way in which EU leaders operate with a brutal clarity … shocking and ultimately tragic … He gets to the heart of their failure more acutely than anyone … Varoufakis has the greatest political virtues of all – courage and honesty." --The Times

"A tremendously indiscreet account … drawing upon his own audio recordings and diaries of top-level meetings. It is deeply personal and very well written." --Financial Times
